List Mgmt. Our Trade/FA, Suburban & Country Town Thread

Not a great time to bottom out with Tassie coming into the comp.

We are going to bottom out with Nick in our team. A generational talent.

 

[loki04]

I expect we will see a number of high draft picks come our way over the next 5 years. Our older players will fall away quickly now and there seems to be precious little to replace them with.

Tasmania enter AFL in 2028.
Will likely get compromised drafts in 26 and 27 on lead up. Not sure on 2025 draft.

If it's anything like GC and GWS bottom of the ladder will see you get pick 4. They were given pick 1, 2, 3 and 7, 8, 9, 10.

GC were also given pre-election on the best 17 year olds.

We did the same with Buckley.
Hopefully we find a way to stay in contention.

He needs support.

The better team around him the more he will shine and the more flags we will see.

1 step backwards for 2 forwards.

Absolutely we will.

Another team coming in dilutes the draft again. Player mobility is increasing in terms of the levers they can pull to move.

It won’t be long.

Hopefully we find a way to stay in contention.

Unfortunately for Bucks it came to late. Imagine injecting prime Bucks into 2010/11 team a team largely built through the Draft.
Would of won 3 in a row.

Recruiting Identification and development improved over Buckley's years too.
The talent ID and draft was not as good in mid to late 90s vs mid 00s.

It’s been 25 odd years since we’ve stayed down the bottom for a while.

And we won’t this time either.

2004-05

2004-05

2 years after playing in grand finals a couple of years before and into a prelim by 2007 and a flag in 2010.

Are you agreeing that Collingwood don’t stay down the bottom for long?

That’s what I originally said so would I need to agree to it?

2014 - 2017 that was a bottom out.
11th

Cool, but it’s not 25 years since Collingwood were down the bottom.

2004/2005 isn’t for a while.

Things turn around very quickly with a well-run club. Look at our performance over last 20 years we have only bottomed out for 3-4 years max at any one time and have always been back in contention very quickly. FFS we just won a flag with a list we knew was ageing. I remember many said we were in for a decade of pain after the salary cap disaster of 2021, two years later flag time.I think club will reload for a crack in 2025 and then we will go to the draft. McQuane might be the mid we are looking for to complement Nick.

Those tank years was due to club realising it didn't have enough top end talent to beat the likes of Brisbane.
We were a workman like team with the best mid in the game.

Look at the late 90s finish spots and those 2 GFs were from Shaw years with MM coming in and cleaning house savvy trades.

Happened just 10 years ago 2014 to 2017 seasons were all bottom 6 finishes.

You guys must be young.

Fans that witnessed the 90’s don’t even remember 2014-2017.

I was on the boundary line at Waverley in the 90s when we had players like Luke Godden running around. I had a wtf day watching that mess and Bucks having to play in it

The 80's weren't much better

You know what I totally agree with this, in 2021 with the disaster trade period, salary cap issues and our coaching dilemma I do recall everyone thinking we were MILES off. Even I thought at least 5 years away from contending, things change very very fast in this game and it doesn't takIe much.

Whilst I don't think it will be 2025 again, give us a few years and we might be right up there again

1997-99 the Shaw years, fair enough.
Hopefully won’t be down the bottom for long, buts it’s no guarantee we won’t be.
2 poor seasons back to back though does count as being down.

Phones playing up lol ^

I remember the last of the un-shaw years i was very early teens.
Buckley was all we could hang our hat on.

I also remember the North Melbourne teams of the last 20 years never wanting to bottom out and staying midling team for that entire time until recently biting the bullet and doing it right.
Essendon did similar so too Richmond for a while early mid 00s. Trying to trade in.

The Wingard, O’Meara and Mitchell references are what the hawks poster was alluding to - either in this thread or another. Think it’s that posters opinion or some hawks supporters.
